--- Comment #4 from Kais Hassan <kai...@gmail.com> ---
I was able to reproduce it and find a solution. I am using Arch Linux, Ktorrent
version 5.0.1-2, KDE Frameworks 5.23.0, Qt 5.6.1.
The problem was with the "Magnet Generator" plugin not enabled, which is the
default value. I suggest the following fixes to KTorrent:
1) Rename Magnet Generator to Magnet Support, since the current name is
misleading. As it seems this plugin is needed for downloading magnets.
2) Enable the Magnet plugin by default, since Magnets are currently popular
3) Check before downloading a Magnet if the plugin is enabled, if not either
enable it silently or display a message to user to enable it. If still disabled
don't attempt to download.
I am not familiar with KTorrent's code base, however if the previous suggested
fixes are correct, and no one have the time to fix it, I can dig into the code
and submit a patch.
